Re: Welcome to Eve Golden, Our Guest Author in May

Sorry so late in posting, but just wanted to thank Ms. Golden for visiting. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the thread--so informative. I have the book on hold at the library, just waiting eagerly for it to come in!

Re: Someone's having a birthday!

Aw, shucks. Today is my birthday. I didn't make the cut on this thread last year, either. So, I decided to post it myself! I lurk a lot, but I truly love reading everyone's posts here. Having a quiet day at home today, and then off to rehearsal tonight. I'm directing a production of The Sound of Mus...

I love A Room with a View! Your post makes me want to pop in the dvd and watch it again.

Re: WHAT FILMS HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?

Catching up here with a grab bag of thoughts from me-- I recorded There's Always Tomorrow, because I'm always on the lookout for Stanwyck films. Not only have I never seen it, I had never even heard of it. Sounds good from what was posted here. The Great Gatsby--this is one of my favorite books of a...

Re: The June 2013 TCM Schedule

I'm SO looking forward to Eleanor Parker as SOTM in June! For years, I only knew her as the Baroness Elsa in The Sound of Music. Then a few years ago, I saw her in Interrupted Melody and The Voice of the Turtle and I realized what a fine actress she was, as well as being beautiful. Also--fellow Ohio...

Re: Netflix Films Streaming and DVD By Mail

My husband uses our Netflix account primarily for watching tv series. He will have something playing on one monitor while he plays games or goes online on the other monitor. He does watch movies, too. I don't use it that often myself, because I just don't really care for watching a film on the compu...

Re: Vegas - T.V.

I'm disappointed that Smash is being cancelled. I love it. I'm a theatre geek, though. Some great talent on that show.

Re: Good Horse Racing Movies?

I'm late to this thread, AND I don't think anyone but me would call this a good movie, but I love Going Places (1938). Dick Powell is a sporting goods store clerk who impersonates a famous jockey. Anita Louise is the rich girl who he falls for, and Louis Armstrong is the groom for Jeepers Creepers, ...

Re: Seen and Heard on the Blvd-TCM FF 2013

Lynn, I woke up extra early this morning, thanks to my hungry kitty, and couldn't get back to sleep. So, I turned on the computer, made some tea and just took a wonderful virtual trip to the TCM film fest with you! Thanks so much for taking the time to post it all! Now, off to read the rest of the t...

Re: What are you reading?

I read Haywire many years ago--back when I didn't really know who Margaret Sullavan was. We had a paperback copy of it around the house, so I read it. I remember being intensely interested in the book. It's one that I would like to re-read now that I have a better idea of who the Haywards are, and h...

Re: Gone With or Without fanfare

I have the Sweetheart Pack, too. I bought it because it was so hard to see her films anywhere! I knew who she was for years, but I had never seen any of her films until I was in my 20's and AMC showed Three Smart Girls (the old AMC! when it used to be good). A lovely woman with a beautiful voice. Sa...

I just caught a bit of it this morning, and now I wished that I recorded it! I love Mary Astor! She could play complicated like nobody's business.

Thanks for posting this! I really didn't know much about Max von Sydow. Wish I could've been there to see him.

Re: WHAT FILMS HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?

Hey Wendy, you didn't make me feel like my opinion on Lincoln wouldn't be valued. It's my own silliness that made me feel funny about posting my love of the film. My old people-pleaser tendencies sometimes stop me from expressing my opinion online. Trying to post more here and stop lurking so much. ...
